Disrupting mediator with a short peptide ligand.
Although RNA polymerase II is the core enzyme that carries out transcription, it requires a large number of accessory proteins and protein complexes to regulate its activity. One of the most important of these complexes is Mediator, a group of 20–25 protein components that is highly conserved from Saccharomyces cerevisiae through to humans. The yeast Mediator is subdivided into three portions: ...
متن کاملSynthetic Mimic of Antimicrobial Peptide with Nonmembrane-Disrupting Antibacterial Properties
Polyguanidinium oxanorbornene ( PGON) was synthesized from norbornene monomers via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. This polymer was observed to be strongly antibacterial against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as nonhemolytic against human red blood cells. Time-kill studies indicated that this polymer is lethal and not just bacteriostatic. In sharp contrast to previousl...
متن کاملDesigning a Peptide Ligand with Dead End Elimination
In protein redesign one of the main challenges is the ability to evaluate many different conformations of the redesigned protein in order to determine the best structure. One approach to this problem is to provably get rid of bad protein conformations using dead-end elimination (DEE). DEE was first developed for application to protein structure evaluation by Desmet et al. [1]. Since then there ...
متن کاملDisrupting Skp2-cyclin A interaction with a blocking peptide induces selective cancer cell killing.
Skp2 fulfills the definition of an oncoprotein with its frequent overexpression in cancer cells and oncogenic activity in various laboratory assays and therefore is a potential cancer therapy target. The best-known function of Skp2 is that of an F-box protein of the SCF(Skp2)-Roc1 E3 ubiquitin ligase targeting the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1). Knockdown of Skp2 generally leads to...
متن کاملC-Peptide: A New Mediator of Atherosclerosis in Diabetes
Diabetes type 2 and insulin resistance are the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is already known that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, and a lot of different factors are involved in its onset. C-peptide is a cleavage product of proinsulin, an active substance with a number of effects within different complications of diabetes. In this paper we discuss the role of C-peptide...
